HOLLYWOOD, CA--(Marketwire - February 12, 2008) - Delivering the whole enchilada to reality TV fans, contestant hopefuls, and industry casting directors, RealityWanted.com re-launched this month as a new-fangled "supersite." Brimming with heaps of casting calls, casting director profile information, reality gossip and all things reality television, RealityWanted.com is attracting the masses in droves, exponentially, on a daily basis.

RealityWanted.com, originally launched by Mark Yawitz and Jason Oropallo of Acme Casting, LLC in 2004, is the first stop for anyone interested in reality television. With the latest casting calls, reality TV news, reality star interviews, industry event photos, blogging, and discussion boards -- there is no other source dedicated completely to reality television.

"I am a big fan of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, so we decided to combine social networking aspects with reality TV casting," states Mark Yawitz, Co-Founder of RealityWanted.com.

There's no standing in long "open call" audition lines at RealityWanted.com. Members can sign up to receive the hottest casting calls in their inbox, as they are announced. Everyone can take advantage of the site's new elaborate friend networking system, featuring personal pages showcasing their interests, talent, skills and experience through videos, photos and personal profiles. Casting directors browse, search and find the talent they are looking for in one stop. In fact, RealityWanted.com is the first place major network Reality TV casting directors go when searching for their talent.

"Mark and I decided several years back that there was a void in the casting arena so we decided to fill it. With the popularity of Reality TV over the last several years we realized people were looking for a website that would help them get on TV," states Jason Oropallo, Co-Founder of RealityWanted.com. "We can't promise you will get on a show, we just want to get you in front of the right casting director making the decision. Reality TV has become a part of many households these days, so we are lucky to be involved in something that we love."

Not only is Mark Yawitz a Reality TV buff and industry tastemaker, but he has a much deeper appreciation for the genre. With the new season launch of CBS' "Big Brother 9," Yawitz recently spent a long twelve hours in the "Big Brother" house with other Reality TV world journalists. Inside the bubble, Yawitz competed with the other journalists for head of household, power of veto and more.
